Agriculture

At this time, the Spring season is sold out.

Community Supported Agriculture began in Japan in the early '70s. There it is called teikei, or 'face to face.' The goal is for farmers and communities to support each other. It not only is successful there, but provided inspiration to farmers around the world.

We also encourage people to split boxes with other families if you have any doubts that you will be unable to finish a box.

This of course will depend on how often you eat at home, and how many picky eaters you have in the family. We will provide you with recipes to help you make the most of your vegetables. We also strongly encourage you to freeze excess portions of vegetables for later. Click here for vegetable preservation tips and instructions.

Payment Information

We need full payment in advance of the season. We have to buy seeds and supplies well in advance for each season.

-If you pay a deposit, then choose not to participate in a later season, you must notify us in writing at least one month before that season starts, and we will refund your deposit minus a $20 per season fee.

-If you know you will miss a week, you can arrange to have a friend pick up your box, or let us know by email one week in advance so we can give your box to a shelter or a family in need.

Any unclaimed boxes will be given to a shelter or family in need.
